Muse confirm 'New Moon' song request

Matt Bellamy has confirmed that Muse have been approached to provide a song for the New Moon soundtrack.

The rockers, who have been widely linked to the Twilight sequel, revealed to MTV News that they had discussed recording a new version of a song from their album The Resistance.

"I spoke to the director yesterday and he wants the track 'I Belong To You', the sort of vaudeville piano track," explained Bellamy.

"He wants a rendition of that but the only thing with the new film is they want the songs to be exclusive to the film. So he's asking if I mind doing, or if we mind doing an alternative version of it."

He added: "I think it's alright - if it was one of the main tracks on the album I would never do it. But it's actually one of the weirder tracks on the album. [It's] one of the 'can't believe we got away with it' kind of tracks.

"I think it might be worth giving it a go because it's a track that might not get played live very often… one of the obscure tracks off the album so it might give that track some life that it wouldn't have otherwise."

Death Cab For Cutie recently revealed their contribution to the highly-anticipated soundtrack, a track called 'Meet Me On The Equinox'.
